The large stone grave in Radepohl is a megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Radepohl , a district of Crivitz in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It bears the Sprockhoff number 404.
location
The grave is located roughly in the middle between the places Radepohl, Wessin and Bülow in a bend in the Teufelsbach, about 200 m away from it on a tongue of geest .
description
The complex has a slightly trapezoidal, north-east-south-west oriented megalithic bed with a length of 36 m and a width of 7 m in the south-west and 6.3 m in the north-east. The enclosure is still well preserved on all four sides. Around 1900 there were 52 stones. Many have fallen over on the outside, some are still in situ and only a few have been removed. In the southwest area of the bed there is a burial chamber aligned parallel to it . This is very badly preserved and can be addressed as a passage grave according to Ewald Schuldt . There are still two wall stones on the south-eastern long side in situ. A wall stone on the north-western long side has been moved and a cap stone has fallen into the interior of the chamber. A hollow shows the original dimensions of the chamber. It probably consisted of four yokes and was 5 m long and 1.7 m wide.
